As you ponder that, I want to make a reference back to last week's words on 'privilege'. And by that I mean we should view our life and what we do with it - is a privilege. Coasting along, wishing things were better and thinking - that is the way my Dad did it . . . is not why we are here. Being smart is just a starting point.
So, what is intelligence? For the Olympic athletes; it becoming an expert in their field, the study of their competitors and the knowledge that they have to give it everything they've got to achieve their peak performance. For us, it is stepping up . . . knowing what we need to do and doing it, being the best we can in our pursuits and knowing, we can achieve our goals. |
